The Mabinogion PEREDUR THE SON OF EVRAWC / GERAINT THE SON OF ERBIN / THE DREAM OF RHONABWY / PWYLL PRINCE OF DYVED; lines 6937-7016 confidence: high
Heilyn opens the closed door; the companions remember all evils, lost companions, misery, and their lord's fate. They carry the head to London and bury it in the White Mount; the concealment prevents overseas invasion while it lasts.
The burial is called the third goodly concealment, and its later disinterment is called the third ill-fated disclosure.
